So long @3Dash. You were one of my first friends here at NL. It's sad to see you go, but I understand your reasons for leaving. I'll be sure to keep up with you on Backloggery and NOF. HAppii tRAiLs An+ goo+ LUck.

@Dash Well, have fun in the real world. (Right, we all know that's impossible) D:
I hope you succeed in ignoring most of NL, but it'll be difficult so best of luck!
Also, are you still in teh SBL?
Also, @Mickey that was an amazing welcome back post you did a while back.

First, let me explain: I've been slipping back into depression and I'm not handling the whole "I have a crush and I'm going to deal with it" well. And since I promised myself (just now) that I wouldn't bother you guys with that anymore, I think I need to leave for a bit. A week at least, two weeks at most. I'm sorry about all of this but this is something I feel like I need to do. On the bright side though, I might (and by 'I might' I mean 'I will') make vacation photos if I come back early. So... look forward to those! See you guys later!

PS: Alright, I'll be honest with you guys, I'm still not entirely sure about whether or not I should leave. See, Mickey says I should just deal with the emotions, the strange thoughts and (I'm embarrassed to say) fantasies that come with having the crush. But I say I should just get away from it all and distance myself away from things that remind me of it. (example: the site I used to confess my crush. spoiler alert this site spoiler alert) So, overall I'm of two minds on it...

Man, two of my favorite NL users leaving at the same time? Now I feel sad...

But regardless, good luck to you, @3Dash and @Mickey, may the real world treat you well.

Biggest Pikmin fan on NL!

Avian fact of the week: The Moa, an extinct relative of ostrichs and emus that inhabited New Zealand, was the tallest bird that ever lived at 12 ft tall (3.6 m). It was also the only known bird to have no wing structure.

Goodbye @Mickey. I wish you luck in sorting your situation out and I hope you feel better soon. Btw, all the emotions and strange thoughts you're having are probably normal. Of course, I can't say for sure as I don't know what your thoughts are but if you have a crush on someone, it's natural to find yourself thinking about them constantly.

Im going to be gone until Thursday night. Im on a uni trip to Wales, even though I have Internet, it is slow and my phone is horrible. Might pop in a couple of times to check news, but no comments unless its something amazing like the new 3D Mario being leaked (or the Deadpool thing earlier) See ya around
